Better Off Ted

Malcolm Barrett stars as Lem Hewitt on ABC’s whacky office comedy, Better Off Ted. Lem works as a research scientist under Ted at Veridian Dynamics. Lem is best friends and co-workers with Phil.

The two of them are a deadly pair that can invent whatever hairbrain scheme the powers that be ask for.

Jonathan Slavin stars as Phil Mymen on ABC’s new comedy, Better Off Ted. Phil is a top research scientist at Veridian Dynamics and works directly under Ted.

Phil is married but seems fairly inept at that relationship. He seems a little better at his one with his co-worker and best friend, Lem.

Phil is easily manipulated into doing whatever the company asks such as freezing himself in the pilot.

Veronica: And the next time some survey asks how happy you are, you check “very,” or I’ll give you something to be happy about.
Ted: I’m not sure that makes any…
Veronica: The hair is up. That’s all they hear

Veronica: Another time, another place. Two other people, it could have been magniflorious.
Phil: You mean that?
Veronica: I do. Particularly the part about two other people

Ted: Never give up. That’s what I always tell my daughter. She tells me to stop telling her, but I tell her I can’t, because that would be giving up
